Since their arrival, generative AI models and their trainers have demonstrated their ability to download any online content for model training. For content owners and creators, few tools can prevent their content from being fed into a generative AI model against their will. Opt-out lists have been disregarded by model trainers in the past, and can be easily ignored with zero consequences. They are unverifiable and unenforceable, and those who violate opt-out lists and do-not-scrape directives can not be identified with high confidence.
In an effort to address this power asymmetry, we have designed and implemented Nightshade, a tool that turns any image into a data sample that is unsuitable for model training. More precisely, Nightshade transforms images into "poison" samples, so that models training on them without consent will see their models learn unpredictable behaviors that deviate from expected norms, e.g. a prompt that asks for an image of a cow flying in space might instead get an image of a handbag floating in space.
Anyone have any good tricks for getting AI image generation models like #dalle or #stablediffusion to produce animals or people with three eyes? I was hoping to get a lemur with a typical “mind’s eye” third eye, but all the models seem to ignore the third eye condition no matter how frequently I specify it.
#AI#hotTake: you only care about robots looking at your content now because they started generating their own content. If they had just kept looking at it to better direct #search users to you you'd still be fine with it.
Ich versuche gerade, mir mit #ChatGPT bzw. #DallE ein Bild erzeugen zu lassen.
Dabei möchte ich gern eine Sprühflasche erzeugt bekommen, die kleine Zwiebeln versprüht.
Nach einigen Prompts habe ich es geschafft, eine Flasche mit Zwiebeln im Innern zu erzeugen. Dann sollte der Sprühnebel aus Zwiebeln bestehen und ChatGPT zeigte mir das Bild mit Mücken.
WTF?
Just saw the unironic argument that if you enjoy images generated by AI it means you have bad taste and you can only enjoy art approved by human artists.
We're reaching levels of AI hate that shouldn't even be possible.
Don't forget to consult your local artist to find out what you're allowed to enjoy.
I'm proposing that all educators confronting AI—even writing teachers—ask students to generate an image. Unlike ChatGPT, which comes off as some kind of robot oracle, text-to-image generators show AI capabilities and limits in vivid color 🧵 1/4
Regarding that last boost, I'm starting to conceive of LLMs and image generators as a phenomenon of (American) society eating its seed corn. If you're not familiar with the phrase, "seed corn" is the corn you set aside to plant next year, as opposed to the corn you eat this year. If you eat your seed corn this year, you have no seeds to plant next year, and thus create a crisis for all future years, a crisis that could have been avoided with better management.
LLMs and image generators mass ingest human-created texts and images. Since the human creators of the ingested texts and images are not compensated and not even credited, this ingestion puts negative pressure on the sharing of such things. Creative acts functioning as seed for future creative acts becomes depressed. Creative people will have little choice but to lock down, charge for, or hide their works. Otherwise, they'll be ingested by innumerable computer programs and replicated ad infinitum without so much as a credit attached. Seed corn that had been freely given forward will become difficult to get. Eaten.
Eating your seed corn is meant to be a last ditch act you take out of desperation after exhausting all other options. It's not meant to be standard operating procedure. What a bleak society that does this, consuming itself in essence.
I tried the Dall-e prompt of "A realistic painting in the style of Gustave Courbet of the character Loki walking down a road while listening to a boombox."
I can't tell if the prompt is shit or if it is #Dalle's fault.
I was considering using one of the image LLMs to create presentation graphics, with the prompt I used in the credits. Recommendations? I have an OpenAI account, but I have seen folks use others. I'd love to use one that doesn't brazenly steal art from others, albeit I don't know if that is possible.
The study by #Everypixel Journal looked at how many AI images have been generated by DALL-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and Adobe Firefly and compared it to how many photographs were taken since photography was invented circa 1826.
